261Question: Why is it necessary to change our qualities in order to feel the Creator?

Answer: For example, a dog perceives the world through scents. Dogs have poor eyesight, and vision is less important to them. Their senses of smell and hearing are extraordinarily developed and serve as a substitute for everything else. A dog can hear what its owner did a hundred meters away and runs to him.

In addition, a dog has an exceptionally developed sense of smell. We see how dogs, running along the street, are constantly sniffing something. For them, smells serve as a map of the world. Therefore, if I want to become closer to a dog, I need to develop the same sense of smell and hearing as it has. Then we will understand each other and will be able to communicate in the same language.

And what if I wanted to see the world the way a snake sees it? Snakes navigate only by thermal sensations. For them, nothing else exists: only heat or cold. But this sensation is so developed in the snake that it is enough for it to feel the entire world as we see it with our eyes.

It seems to us that if we see with our eyes, nothing more is required. But in reality, there are many additional phenomena around us that we do not perceive. Therefore, we know nothing about them and are satisfied with what is necessary for the existence of our physical body.

The snake is also satisfied with its thermal sensations alone. But if I want to come closer to a snake, then I must develop an additional sense—heat and cold. Then I would be able to navigate using that sense, even with my eyes closed.

In other words, we all perceive according to our organs of sensation. The Creator possesses such qualities that He simply passes through us; we do not perceive Him, it is much like radio waves that fill the air. We must develop a special organ of sensation that will have qualities similar to those of the Creator.

If we want to understand a snake or a dog, we need to develop the sensitivity to heat and cold like a snake, or the sense of smell like a dog. In the same way, we must develop an organ of perception similar to the Creator in order to sense Him.

49.01Question: Can Kabbalah be used to harm others?

Answer: Not at all! This is absolute nonsense, because only those who are at the spiritual and moral level can reach the great forces of the world. Such a person is capable of using them, but he cannot pass this ability on to others.

Even if he wanted to or was forced to use Kabbalah for someone else’s personal gain, he would not be able to. We are dealing with a system that operates at the level of the world of infinity, and therefore, no one is capable of using Kabbalah to cause harm; it simply will not work. One can only exploit its name for speculation.

Question: But can he predict the future?

Answer: Nothing can be predicted because the future depends on the person.

He can only personally reveal ever new horizons of attainment and, in accordance with that, feel himself existing in the upper world. This is an individual attainment.

524.01Comment: In the article “The Agenda of the Assembly,” Rabash emphasizes that each one, according to his abilities, speaks at the assembly about the importance of the group and about what it gives him in order to impress the others.

Answer: Everyone must inspire all the others by saying how proud he is to be in this group, how much he values it, and how great and important the group is in his eyes. To the extent that the Creator is important to a person, the means of attaining the Creator, that is, the group, is also important to him.

All this he must express in his own words and with it ignite the hearts of the friends. And the others must make an effort themselves to listen to what he says and connect with his feelings.

It is mutual work. On one hand, a friend must impress the others, and on the other hand, they must become inspired by him.

Question: What if he says the same thing for ten years?

Answer: It does not matter. Each time, the feelings are different.

944Today we have approached a state where we can gather into one single unified whole. By doing this, we encompass the entire universe within ourselves; we begin to construct from within ourselves the model that really exists and to reveal the true model: the unification of human souls, which include the inanimate, vegetative, and animate parts of nature, and above all, the spiritual ones.

A person who begins to work with his friends in this manner draws closer to perceiving the universe as a single unified whole. Then, naturally, he sees all the worlds, including our own, interwoven and contained within one another.

He sees them permeated, integrated, and bound by a single force called the “Creator,” and amidst all of this, he sees himself existing eternally and ascending through the degrees of perfection. That is, he sees the universe in its true form, a reality not limited by our world, which is lost within this entire picture.

Therefore, the fact that we are approaching a state when my students can begin to work on the perception of reality described in the “Introduction to The Book of Zohar” is already a serious stage.

I hope that in the near future all the people who are with us to one degree or another, regardless of where they live, will be included in this picture of the perception of the world. This is liberation from egoistic shackles, from the limitations in which souls remain before contact with the spiritual, with the true creation.

This is the revolution in man, such is the most important moment of his existence, because after this, further revelation follows. He has entered into the sensation of the true volume, of the true universe, and that is all. And now there follow only 125 degrees of spiritual attainment.
